You were given a lot of coral, Including that Birdnest for CHEAP. That being said It will never happen again. When people abuse your generosity For what ever reason It gives this club and this hobby a bad rap IMO. There are some unspoken rules of whats right and what's not and you have broken them more than once IMO. Don't you remember all the Coral you ordered from people at the Expo and then never showed up to pay for the coral you had them frag for you. I was more than generous with you, and gave you more than what you paid for on several occasions, I guess you just don't get It, Because sulky has nothing to do with It, Just remember what goes around comes around
Most of the stuff i'm selling, i bought from a store and paid twice the price, not from you. And i was not given the coral for free, i paid for it.
When i bought the corals from you, it was your decision to price them so how can you blame me for your decisions? I never asked you for a certain price on the coral or insisted on lowering the price, i paid you what you asked. Im selling all the coral in my tank because i wanted to convert to FOWLR tank. How i choose to price things is not upto you. I got pm messages from people asking me why im selling for cheap lol, so i see a clear contradiction here.
I never sold anything i got from you untill now, and i have a good reason why i'm selling my coral. If i threw the coral out or kept doing this on a constant basis i can see how that can be seen as abuse of generosity. And i agree that you are a very generous person. But in this case you are completely wrong. It is not a matter of opinion its a matter of fact.
I don't know what unspoken rules you are talking about. No one ever spoke to me about them.
I remember ordering some corals at the time of Expo, unfortunately i was not able to make it because i had to meet with a client. To me, my clients come first. I PM'd the sellers and told them i will be more than happy to come pick them up. Almost all the pieces reserved were sold so it wasnt a big issue. I don't remember ordering anything from you so i don't know why you're upset about that. That was between me and the sellers.
When i sell my coral or anything else, it becomes the buyers property and they could resell it, keep it, it doesn't matter to me because its their property. I can only hope that they take good care of it. If they make profit from something i gave away, i would be happy for them. So thats something that makes you upset. I guess i really don't get it.
You are clearly angry which is affecting your impression of me. You are trying to find reasons not to like me but like my mother says, that is impossible. lol
